Jim and Rich are back to discuss MotoGP Round 13 from Aragon in Spain. First up it’s the news, with more details emerging on the controversial new circuit proposed for Adelaide in Australia. There is a fair bit of Moto2 rider placement news, along with crazy Toprak antics and a look ahead to how riders are going to find the 2027 850’s.

In Moto3 Max Quilles gave a dominant performance just weeks after collarbone surgery, further extending his already enormous points lead. Alonso Lopez continued his upturn in form with a dominant win in Moto2, which remains a close contest in the points at this stage of the season. In MotoGP, Marc Marquez got his campaign back on track with a maximum points haul, whilst Marco Bezzecchi fought hard in Marc’s back yard to grab a pair of hard fought podiums. Rider of the MotoGP race was Pedro Acosta, once again conjuring magic from the KTM. Its all to play for as the championship gets hectic all the way through to its conclusion at the end of November. Moto3 looks sealed but its super close in Moto2 and MotoGP heading into the remaining 8 rounds.

With the summer break over, Danny and Karl are back and it’s been a busy few weeks with Brands Hatch, Oulton Park and Thruxton all delivering plenty of action.

Brands Hatch saw Kyle Ryde dominate the weekend with two wins, while Scott Redding took the final race. Max Cook was incredibly consistent, taking three podiums as the championship battle at the front continued to tighten.

Oulton Park saw Bradley Ray take the opening race before Ryde bounced back with two wins on Sunday. Redding and Ray also featured strongly, but Ryde left Cheshire having extended his championship lead to 30 points.

Then came Thruxton and another cracking weekend. Ryde took victory in race one before Ryan Vickers stole the show on Sunday, winning both races for his first victories of the season. Redding had a frustrating weekend, including a crash in race three, while Ryde's consistency saw him extend his championship advantage.

With the Showdown getting closer, Ryde leads Redding, with Bradley Ray and Max Cook still firmly in the mix.

Normal service was resumed in the Superpole and Race 2, with Bulega winning and extending his championship lead to a massive 133 points. For the home fans it was a boost to see Sam Lowes take a third-place finish in the Superpole Race, with Tommy Bridewell having a strong weekend and Jake Dixon back from a long injury break. The Brits also had an amazing double win to celebrate in WSSP with Tom Booth-Amos taking a pair of victories.

We're back!  Jim and Rich get together after a long summer break to talk about the British Grand Prix from Silverstone.  The Moto3 race was a wild affair as championship leader Max Quiles broke his collar bone in qualifying. The race on Sunday was a barn burner classic Moto3 fair that was won by Almansa after Uriate crashed on the last lap.

 

Moto2 was the best race of the weekend.  It was full of heartbreak and feel good story lines.  This awesome action packed race was won by Salac after Gonzalez thought he had won but miscounted the last lap.  As Gonzalez let off to celebrate be was hit by Holgado in the exhaust.  Gonzalez limped home in 14th place.

 

The MotoGP races were not very exciting.  The Ducatis' were struggling with rear grip all weekend while the Aprilias were on rails.  Martin won the Sprint on Saturday and on Sunday Fernandez won by a country mile.  This weekend shook up the points as Martin leads by 31.  Bezzecchi is second while Ogura is third after crashing out on Sunday.  Marc Marquez is fourth and Digi is fifth only 41 points behind Martin.
